The Best Buy electronics chain has reported a dramatic drop in profits - following the resignation of the firm's CEO amid questions over his relationship with a 29-year-old employee.

Best Buy suspended its profits forecast after reporting a 90 per cent drop in net income in the quarter ending August 4, dragged down by restructuring charges and weak sales.

Overall Best Buy earned $12 million in the period up to August 4, compared with $150 million a year earlier.

The poor report comes after a turbulent period for the retailer, which began with the resignation of CEO Brian Dunn in April amid a company investigation into an 'improper' relationship with a 29-year-old female employee.

There was more bad news for Best Buy when the recent announcement of Mr Dunn's replacement was met with a negative response on Wall Street.

Hubert Joly is the former CEO of the Carlson travel company and a turnaround expert, but it was expected that the firm would choose a candidate with retail experience, and the news sent shares in Best Buy down 10 per cent.

Before that, talks between the the firm's board and Richard Schulze over the co-founder and former chairman's plans to take the company private broke down.

Mr Schulze was forced to step down as chairman of the retailer when it emerged that he knew about the relationship between Mr Dunn and the 29-year-old employee but had failed to alert either the board or human resources.

Earlier this month Mr Schulze, who has a 20 per cent stake in Best Buy, made a takeover offer for the chain.

On Sunday the firm released a statement setting out certain terms in order for acquisition talks to proceed. Mr Schulze responded with a statement rejecting the terms.

The series of bad news comes as Best Buy - the world's largest consumer electronics retailer - struggles to reverse a decline in its business due to a weak global economy and consumers' changing shopping habits.

Customers are increasingly using Best Buy's stores to check out electronics before buying them at cheaper prices online or elsewhere. And where shoppers once snapped up expensive widescreen TVs and desktop computers, more people are now opting for smaller gadgets like mobile phones and tablets.

Overall, Best Buy earned $12 million, or 4 cents per share, in the quarter ended August 4. Profits were $150 million, or 39 cents per share a year earlier.

Revenue at Best Buy stores open at least 14 months fell 3.2 per cent for the entire business, including a 1.6 per cent drop in its domestic business and an 8.2 per cent decline in its international division. Analysts had predicted a 2.6 per cent decline for the total business.

The firm said it was withdrawing its profit forecast in order to give its new CEO more flexibility as he attempts to turn the company around.

Mr Joly, who is expected to take over in September, succeeds Mike Mikan, a board member who has served as interim CEO since Mr Dunn's departure in April.

Mr Mikan acknowledged the challenges facing the firm to investors on Tuesday. But he insisted Mr Joly is up to the task of turning Best Buys fortunes around, according to a report in the Huffington Post.

Best Buy has already taken steps to try and combat the decline in its business.

In March, prior to the scandal surrounding Mr Dunn's resignation, it announced a major restructuring that involved closing 50 stores, cutting 400 corporate jobs and trimming $800 million in costs.

In early July the company said it would lay off 600 members of staff in its Geek Squad technical support division along with 1,800 other store workers. Best Buy has also been reducing store size and focusing on its more profitable products, such as mobile phones.

But the firm has been criticised by analysts and investors who say it has not responded quickly enough to growing competition from Amazon and other online retailers, or the changing shopping habits of Americans.
